I would add a light boarder (like yellow or turquoise) then a black binding.

Yes, I think it should have a border, will give it a more finished look. Maybe a light yellow.

I think you could call the black and white your border, but if you want it bigger, I'd look at that purple with the flowers in the middle pinwheel.

I think a border would make it pop more!

I also thought the purple would look good.

I don't think it needs a border unless you would like it to be bigger.

I was thinking no border, but audition one at the corners and take a picture. That helps me sometimes.

I think a border like the light purple or maybe pink. Than black binding.
I like your design.

I would put a border on it, both for design and for help in controlling the existing edges.

Beautiful work!
